„Wir woll´n doch nur spiel´n“ („War-games“)

„Wir woll´n doch nur spiel´n“,- Abenteuer, Heldentum, „Für Führer, Volk und Vaterland“. Kinder ziehen in die Spielzeug-Schlacht mit Zinnsoldaten und Plastepanzern, später spritzt digitales Blut,- Mitdabeisein ist Alles. Die Mächtigen pokern auf der Weltkarte um Einfluss und Macht, ein Krieg ist schnell entfacht, ein Grund schnell erdacht. Und Du darfst losziehen, endlich in die Schlacht, nun ist´s kein Spiel mehr, jetzt wird umgebracht,- und vielleicht trifft´s auch Dich.
Im Wald fand ich einen zerschossenen Stahlhelm aus dem 2. Weltkrieg,- der saß einmal auf einem Soldatenkopf, sollte ihn beschützen.

Jan Witte-Kropius is a contemporary German artist known for his diverse artistic practices, which encompass sculpture, painting, graphics, installations, and public art. His work reflects a deep exploration of existential themes such as the search for the meaning of life, the rhythms of nature, and the mysteries of human origins and destiny.

Witte-Kropius draws inspiration from his observations of nature and his extensive study trips to cultures around the world, including Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania. The influence of original and archaic forms of expression, particularly from Papua New Guinea and Colombia, is evident in his art. His work is characterized by expressive form reduction, figurative abstraction, and the use of unconventional materials.

A distinctive feature of Witte-Kropius’s art is his use of flint (flintstone or pierre à fusil) to create figurative sculptures. This material, known for its hardness and brittleness yet naturally shaped into softness, is used by the artist to craft archaic and mysterious female torsos with an erotic aura reminiscent of Stone Age fertility goddesses.

Witte-Kropius has been actively represented in galleries across Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and Denmark, participating in both solo and group exhibitions. His art has also made a significant impact in public spaces, with several of his fountains and sculptures prominently displayed in urban locations and marketplaces.
